Auto launch audio apps has stopped working after I updated to watchOS 9.4.
By the way, I think the watch should auto launch the Now Playing app and not the specific audio app.
Apple Watch Series 8
Update- I deleted the watch app and reinstalled, then powered off the watch twice. Everything began to function properly after that! Also, subsequent updates seem to have made operations more seamless! I do think that the “now playing” screen is still less user friendly (smaller controls), and less responsive, but at least it works now!
This worked for me! Removed old Apple Watch, powered off watch and phone, and then turned them back on. Thank you for this suggestion!
Me too. Exact same issue
Definitely worked. Also, why didn’t I think of this as it’s the most generic solution ever….. thanks!
Series 5 here! Volume control with the crown isn't working in now playing for multiple apps including apple music. I'm so tired of updating and introducing new and annoying bugs!
I have a series 8 so it's not just your model. It's so frustrating. It happened yet again to me yesterday.
That did not work for me :(
didn't work for me
Nope. My watch is Series 9 and has the same problem
Now playing on Apple Watch not working after update
